Care Philosophy: I decided to become an OB/GYN because I enjoy being able to build a relationship with my patients that can last a lifetime. I am able to treat, help, counsel and comfort women during life's major transitions of puberty, young adulthood, motherhood, menopause and beyond. In my practice, I diagnose and treat most gynecologic conditions applying advanced surgical techniques when appropriate. In what other field can one have the joys of making long term bonds with patients and helping bring new life into the world? All I can say is that I love my job!During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters, reading and working on home improvements. I also enjoy long distance running which is my solace. So far, I have completed two marathons and multiple half marathons and shorter races.
